The Red Lory is a vibrant and energetic parrot species native to the Moluccas in Indonesia. As its name suggests, it is almost entirely red, with touches of blue on its wings and tail. Like other lories and lorikeets, it has a specialised brush-tipped tongue designed for feeding on nectar and pollen from flowers.
